A couple of weeks ago, Eddie got an ear infection. He was prescribed amoxicillian, which he took for nine days with no reaction. On day ten, he got a terrible rash. I didn't think it could be the medicine because of the delayed reaction, so I kept giving it to him for three more days. I took him to the doctor on day twelve to get his rash checked out. I learned that an allergic response can happen at any time and that he is allergic to penicillian . Poor guy. I took these pictures after the rash had begun looking less red and prominent. His palms and feet were the worst; you can see how red they were. The rash is almost gone now; he is left with lots of dry peeling skin and an ear infection. The medicine didn't help at all, and the doctor wanted to wait for the rash to be completely gone before prescribing another treatment.

all i can say is "oh for heaven's sake"...is he feeling any better yet? You might tell your doctor that you are flying in a week, that might affect the pain element if his ears are still infected.
That's just horrible! I'm surprised it wouldn't show up until day 10- no wonder you didn't think it was the medicine. How sad. And it didn't even help the ears! I feel so bad for him- and you!
How sad! Poor little guy. Hopefully he'll be feeling better soon.
